Flint Mayor Dayne Walling says it's a "landmark day for Flint" on April 29, 2015, after Gov. Rick Snyder declares an end to the city's financial emergency that lasted nearly 3.5 years under a state-appointed emergency manager.

The city's 41-month financial emergency was lifted by Gov. Rick Snyder and announced on Wednesday, April 29, at a news conference at Flint City Hall. Deputy State Treasurer Wayne Workman, Flint emergency manager Jerry Ambrose, Flint Mayor Dayne Walling, City Councilman Scott Kincaid and City Administrator Natasha Henderson spoke at the news conference.
